Dozens of boxes filled with mail-in ballots are sitting inside a Miami-area mail distribution center, according to photos obtained by the Miami New Times.

The news outlet noted that the distribution center where the ballots are located is the same one that was evacuated in October after a mail bomb reached the facility.

The news about the ballots comes the same day Miami-Dade County announced it finished counting votes for the midterm elections, which includes hotly contested Senate and gubernatorial races.

Two unnamed sources told the New Times that hundreds or thousands of ballots may still be in the distribution center.

Florida is AG supposed to investigate.


Outgoing AG Pam Bondi is Republican and the newly elected AG Ashley Moody is Republican too.[1]

You might recognize the name Pam Bondi.
The Attorney General faced scrutiny a while ago over allegations of partaking in a pay-for-play scandal with Trump. She refused to investigate Trump University's illegal practices shortly after Trump donated a hefty sum of money. He also hosted a fundraiser for Pam Bondi at Mar-A-Lago.[2]

Why are Dems not pointing out that the fucking Rethuglicans, especially in Florida, have been stealing elections for many years now?? They should be screaming it from the rooftops. Just saying, "every vote should count" is not enough. They need to be countering the R's allegations with evidence to the contrary, which there is plenty of!

put mail sorting centers out of commission a day or two before. Maybe send ticking packages or envelops of flour?
Why does no one have responsibility for securing our votes?

I see one mail tub with a sticker on it, which doesn't mean much except the tag is still there. At any rate, I sincerely doubt the USPS is hanging on to ballots.

Moody comes across as smarter and more accomplished than her predecessor but not holding my breath.
